whitish-fuscous. Legs dark fuscous, apex of joints whitish, 

 middle tibiae irrorated with ochreous-whitish, posterior tibiae 

 oohreous-whitish. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa 

 gently arched, apex rounded, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; 

 fuscous, densely irregularly irrorated with white and black ; an 

 indistinct blackish short very oblique streak from base of costa ; 

 two very obscure oblique darker streaks from costa at ^ and 

 middle ; a very obscure ill -defined darker longitudinal streak in 

 disc below middle from base to hindmargin, finely attenuated 

 anteriorly, obscurely interrupted at f ; above interruption an 

 obscure white dot, followed by black scales : cilia white, with 

 rows of grey points towards tips, basal half irrorated with 

 blackish, forming obscure bars. Hindwings light fuscous-grey, 

 darker towards apex ; cilia fuscous-whitish, with a fuscous line. 



Sydney, New South Wales ; Wirrabara, South Australia ; in 

 October, five specimens. Narrower-winged than the two follow- 

 ing species, specially characterised by the dark submedian streak. 



96. Agr. axesta, n. sp. 



Both sexes 19-21 mm. Head, palpi, and thorax dark grey, 

 m.ore or less irrorated with whitish. Antennae grey. Abdomen 

 pale whitish-fuscous. Legs dark fuscous, apex of joints and 

 posterior tibiae whitish, middle tibiae irrorated with whitish. 

 Forewings elongate, moderate, costa moderately arched, apex 

 rounded, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; fuscous-grey, 

 irrorated with white ; a short black attenuated very oblique 

 streak from base of costa, margined beneath with white towards 

 base ; three transverse series of very obscure marks formed by a 

 blackish irroration ; first nearly straight, from \ of costa to sub- 

 median fold before middle ; second from middle of costa very 

 obliquely outwards to disc at |, where it is curved abruptly round 

 and terminates in disc at f , with some irregular marks beneath 

 it ; third from f of costa very obliquely outwards, near apex bent 

 round and continued near hindmargin to anal angle : cilia 

 whitish with rows of fuscous points, with a dark fuscous inter- 

 rupted line near base. Hindwings fuscous-grey, lighter towards 

 base ; cilia fuscous-whitish, with a fuscous line. 



Wirrabara, South Australia ; in October, common. Very like 

 the following, but somewhat larger, and readily distinguishable 

 by the short black streak from base of costa ; the markings also 

 difier in detail when closely examined, and the species are un- 

 questionably distinct. 



97. Agr. diminuta, Ros. 

 (Agriophara diminuta, Ros., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1885, 440.) 

 Both sexes 16-1 8mm. Head, palpi, antennae, and thorax grey, 

 irrorated with whitish. Abdomen light grey. Legs dark fuscous,
